In at number two, Jessica Chastain's Mama added another $12 million, and it's cumulative $48 million has put it well over the cost of production ($15 million). Silver Linings Playbook ($10 million) continues to gain momentum heading toward the Oscars, rising to number three and surpassing Zero Dark Thirty ($9.8 million) in its 11th week of release. Both films have made $69 million so far.

Jason Statham's latest, Parker was a major disappointment, debuting with only $7 million and signaling the definitive end to Jennifer Lopez's feature-film career. Meanwhile, the other new release, the deplorable Movie 43, opened with only $5 million, yet with only a $6 million budget, looks to be a revenue generator.
